Curious
Incident Creative Project
DUE
Wednesday, May 21
You are to create something of
your choice that engages with the themes, plot, and characters of the
novel. You will then write a paragraph to explain your choices and
how they are relevant to the themes of the novel.
You may create (Choose 1
thing, not a whole category):
1. Artistic: A new book
cover, art piece, or poster for the acceptance of differences in
schools.
2. Multimedia: A
soundtrack (of at least 4 songs explaining which parts of the novel
they would be played to and why), a documentary or news report on
Christopher or the murder of the dog, or a movie trailer.
3. Writing: A
collection of at least 3 poems, a re-write of part of the story from
another character's perspective, a letter from one character to
another, or a news article on Christopher or the murder of the dog.
4. Theatrical: a filmed
or in-class re-enactment of a scene from the novel, or from a
different perspective.
5. Something that you propose
to me!
All creative projects
require a paragraph of at least 300 words, typed up. Your
paragraph should explain any choices you made, symbols used, and
characters or events from the novel involved. Discuss the themes of
the novel and how this can be seen in your creative project.
